What's For Dinner #118 - the Pollen Is Covering Everything! Edition - May 2025

Another sunny day, albeit it cooler and more of that insane wind (40mph) that seems to have picked up significantly… about 20 years ago :thinking:

We scooted to our favorite sushi place for lunch, then hit a few shops with more or less success. Our pad doesn’t have a honing steel & I was hoping to find a cheapo one… not the Zwilling the lady at the department store tried to convince me to get. As much as it pains me, I put in an order at amazon. $14.99 is a good price :woman_shrugging:t2:

WFD was a low-key affair at home: revived our stale sourdough with a spiffy method I never knew about, and had it with an assortment of cheeses (Taleggio, Raschera, and scallion crack :wink:

fennel salami, two kinds of herring salad, and marinated zuke & eggplant.

Oh, and some of the leftover salad from last night. The herring salads were disappointing: the dill one was too salty, the beets & apple one too sweet, so I tossed them both :confused:

The brands are usually good quality, but it might be best to find a local fishmonger who makes their own.
